Feedback on Early Years in Arlington

Anonymous
Anybody have experience with this school that can offer some feedback? I went on a tour yesterday and am considering it for my son

The pluses I saw when I visited
-very clean and organized classrooms
-GREAT child/teacher ratios
-very clear emphasis on safety and protecting the children
-engaged teachers and children
-engaged and amicable program director
-good hours (not quite a full day, but better than most 2-3 hour programs)

The negatives I noticed were
Is there enough 'outside' time? Seems kids only get 30-45 minutes a day--and sometimes they are not outside but in the big gym
No field trips--they bring folks in regularly for special events, but do the kids get cabin fever never going anywhere off campus?
Is the curriculum rigorous enough (seems like the curriculum repeats each year so do kids who join early get bored by their third year of the same 'stuff'

Thanks for any input!
